Courts in Ghana are considering multiple legal challenges to the West African country’s anti-LGBTQ+ bill with its top court due to deliver its first decision on July 27. The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values bill, passed unanimously by parliament in February, will further criminalise same-sex relations and ban the “promotion” of LGBTQ+ activities. But President Nana Akufo-Addo has said he will not sign the bill – one of Africa’s most restrictive anti-LGBTQ+ bills – into law until the Supreme Court decides on legal challenges.
